‘Trans/Portraits’ By Jackson Wright Shultz

The best way to understand someone’s life is to listen to them tell their story. Trans/Portraits gives us the gift of stories from a diverse group of misunderstood and oppressed people who are our friends, family, and neighbors. These stories build a picture revealing commonalities more than differences, and give us a clearer idea of trans people’s needs. If we pay attention, this book can show us how our community can do better. Available October 13 from Dartmouth College Press (upne.com/Dartmouth.html). —Angel Curtis
